Comments/Observations

• +2 weapons right now seems like an obligatory pick. One unit with +2 weapons has the same firepower as a group of four of the same unit without it. That's not even going into the fact that +1/2 weapons also improve defense
• There don't appear to be any caps that improve defense, aside from +attack?
• Clarity issue: does +1 regeneration halve stat loss and +2 regeneration halve it again, or is +2 regeneration functionally useless?
